MALÅ Easy Locator Core
A portable, AI-powered ground penetrating radar for high-accuracy utility locating. MALÅ AI interprets the radar live as you survey, automatically marking buried pipes and cables and converting them to localized utility colour codes, right on your phone or tablet.
Watch The AI Mark Buried Objects, Live In The Field.
Easy Locator Core is the first GPR in the world to use intelligent real-time interpretation support for utility locating. This is the actual MALÅ Controller App footage: as data is collected, MALÅ AI places a marker on every buried-object hyperbola it detects, no post-processing required.
AI detects the hyperbola
As data is collected, MALÅ AI reads the radar profile in real time and recognises the hyperbola signature of every buried point object.
AI marks it live
Each detected object is auto-marked on the Controller App while you keep moving, no need to stop, re-scan or post-process to see the find.
Convert to utility colour codes
AI markers convert to standard markers with localized utility colour codes directly in the field, then export to MALÅ Vision for further processing.
Invaluable interpretation support for inexperienced users, and a real time-saver for experts. Markers convert to regular object markers and export to MALÅ Vision for further processing.
Intuitive For Beginners, Complete For Experts.
Easy Locator Core is optimised for locating and mapping utilities, combining Swedish quality with a set of revolutionary features. It is lighter and easier to use than anything else in its class, rugged enough to traverse the toughest terrain, and delivers unsurpassed resolution, bandwidth and data clarity.
Built on MALÅ's patented HDR real-time sampling, it pairs that razor-sharp data with real-time AI interpretation while you collect, so you can access, share and process your survey on any device, cloud-connected to MALÅ Vision for instant results in the field.
